“As we continue to grow and expand our events business this talented group of professionals will be the ones to lead CMG to the next level,” said Zadeits.

“In an industry and world where we communicate electronically and digitally with more and more frequency, the importance of face-to-face interaction has become increasingly important,” he said. “And, our events team at CMG is among the very best at bringing people together to learn, share, and inspire to build relationships and grow business.”
